awgFor once, I agree with the guy. >Avoid Mastodon. The underlying software may not be garbage, but the people who manage the Mastodon network are garbage. And they’ll shadowban or even ban people whose views are quite reasonable. Game over.
Like some of us have been saying for awhile: if it's not niu, don't even bother.
@awg @xrevan86 @jeff Hanging out on one of the most blocked instances is the way to go. Even though you only talk with people on instances that respect free speech and freedom of opinion, it also prevents you from catching the internet HIV of the people who willingly subscribe to censorship. https://gs.smuglo.li/attachment/641263
@jeff @xrevan86 >Even without insulting any other user — let alone a mention of another user — one’s views/links can apparently get one the ‘boot’, without as little as due process of some kind.
this is exactly why I some of us have despised #masto from the get-go tbh.
@cybermeow@hyper this isn't even a legal or political view, it's purely a technical one, turns out when you install a censor people will misuse and actively abuse it, EVERY DAMN TIME.
